Abstract

A flexible display device metal support includes a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first hole formed in the second surface, and a second hole formed in the first surface or the second surface. Each of the first surface and the second surface is parallel to a plane formed by an axis of a first direction and an axis of a second direction. The second hole is located adjacent to the first hole in the first direction. A length of the second hole in the first direction is less than a length of the first hole in the first direction, or a length of the second hole in the second direction is less than a length of the first hole in the second direction.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A flexible display device metal support, comprising:
 a first surface;   a second surface opposite to the first surface;   a first hole formed in the second surface; and   a second hole formed in the first surface or the second surface, wherein   each of the first surface and the second surface is parallel to a plane formed by an axis of a first direction and an axis of a second direction,   the second hole is located adjacent to the first hole in the first direction, and a length of the second hole in the first direction is less than a length of the first hole in the first direction, or a length of the second hole in the second direction is less than a length of the first hole in the second direction.   
     
     
         2 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of second holes, each as the second hole, is formed in the first direction, and
 the farther from the first hole, the shorter in length in the first direction or in length in the second direction the plurality of second holes is.   
     
     
         3 . A flexible display device metal support, comprising:
 a first surface;   a second surface opposite to the first surface;   a first hole formed in the second surface; and   a second hole formed in the first surface or the second surface, wherein   each of the first surface and the second surface is parallel to a plane formed by an axis of a first direction and an axis of a second direction,   the second hole is located adjacent to the first hole in the first direction, and a depth of the second hole is less than a depth of the first hole.   
     
     
         4 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 3 , wherein a plurality of second holes, each as the second hole, is formed in the first direction, and
 the farther from the first hole, the shallower in depth the plurality of second holes is.   
     
     
         5 . A flexible display device metal support, comprising:
 a first surface;   a second surface opposite to the first surface;   a first hole formed in the second surface; and   a second hole formed in the first surface or the second surface, wherein   each of the first surface and the second surface is parallel to a plane formed by an axis of a first direction and an axis of a second direction,   the second hole is located adjacent to the first hole in the first direction,   the first hole is formed in a first region, the first region being, in a plan view,   a minimum rectangle extending throughout an entirety in the second direction and including all of first holes each as the first hole,   the second hole is formed in a second region, the second region being, in a plan view, a minimum rectangle extending throughout the entirety in the second direction and including all of second holes each as the second hole, and   a percentage of a volume of the first holes to a volume of an entirety in a thickness direction of the flexible display device metal support at the first region is greater than a percentage of a volume of the second holes to a volume of the entirety in the thickness direction of the flexible display device metal support at the second region.   
     
     
         6 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 5 , wherein the second hole includes a plurality of first linear grooves extending linearly and a plurality of second linear grooves extending linearly, and
 each of the first linear grooves and each of the second linear grooves intersect with each other in a non-parallel manner.   
     
     
         7 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hole is a non-through hole. 
     
     
         8 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hole is a through hole. 
     
     
         9 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of second holes, each as the second hole, is formed, and the plurality of second holes is arranged in a staggered manner. 
     
     
         10 . A flexible display device, comprising:
 a display member; and   the flexible display device metal support according to  claim 1  supporting the display member.   
     
     
         11 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 3 , wherein the first hole is a non-through hole. 
     
     
         12 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 3 , wherein the first hole is a through hole. 
     
     
         13 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 3 , wherein a plurality of second holes, each as the second hole, is formed, and the plurality of second holes is arranged in a staggered manner. 
     
     
         14 . A flexible display device, comprising:
 a display member; and   the flexible display device metal support according to  claim 3  supporting the display member.   
     
     
         15 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 5 , wherein the first hole is a non-through hole. 
     
     
         16 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 5 , wherein the first hole is a through hole. 
     
     
         17 . The flexible display device metal support according to  claim 5 , wherein a plurality of second holes, each as the second hole, is formed, and the plurality of second holes is arranged in a staggered manner.
